Hello all you harlots and hussies.  Today Arielle and I are talking about Harriette Wilson, a famous courtesan who had affairs with a number of well-known politicians, thought-leaders, and artists during the early 1800s. At one point described as being ‘the worst and wickedest bitch in the world,’ Harriette’s memoirs were so juicy, they threatened the stability of the entire UK government. We also talk about how courtesans were the original freelancers, why we should all be keeping diaries, and why ‘cake’ is the perfect descriptor for the booty. Listen for the best tips on how to bag a bag man or wish you had. xx Rachel Follow us on Instagram @oralhistorypod Follow us on TikTok @oralhistorypodcast Send all love, episode suggestions, and sexy stories to [email protected] Written and edited by: Rachel Produced by Doll House Media --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/oral-history-pod/support
